under a honeymoon

i find that the most progressive people i meet are the ones who are diligently seeking ways to wean themselves from fossil fuels, electricity, and corporate farming. because that is the future.

neighbor kids; idyllic suburban scene; un-watered lawn's last days.

the newest budding consciousness is emerging within me, the true self, and everything is new again. everything that i thought i wanted to do seems less pressing, my nose is catching new scents in the wind. learning to be still and trust intuition. shedding the old skin is always uncomfortable...but i prefer it to the alternative. :)

did you know that at the end of every rainbow is a pot of tract housing?

that sky.

heaven.

all day.

can't stop.

won't stop.

can't make me.

love at first sight: greenhouse/shower. shilo is living it up off grid.

raw milk maid.

she loves the peony.

salads, sunbathing, tarot, sun tea, sierra buttes.

the girl who talks to madrones. you find the people who understand you most in the world. thank you, universe. 

a rough mock-up of our business card stamp, to be stamped on cardboard we collect. IT'S TIME TO SAY "ADIOS" TO THE LAWN, AND HELLO TO FOOD AND HABITAT!! are you with me, suburbia?? shilo and her libra bringing beauty skillz are much appreciated. she is a very accomplished ethno-botanist/farmer. my sister bonny is great at designs like this. :)

an original gary snyder.

and self timer selfies

cheese!

mimulus, monkey flower.

magic everywhere.

just realizing that it is summer. now.

on fire.

MASTERPIECE, so mesmerized. sacred geometry, i learned how bees make wax. rose honey, raw, volatile flower oils! every one needs to find a bee keeper friend STAT, what a magical holy substance! the mass-produced honey found at grocery stores suffers the same fate as most other ag-corp foods: exploitation of the natural world to the point of collapse. forgive us, bees, earth. the best way is your way.

top bar bee keeping. if you know people who use smokers and bee suits and boxed-pre-fab beehives tell them to look into the top bar method! no mites! no colony collapse! just happy, peaceful bees doing what they do best! so inspired. there is always a better way.
the bees are peacefully humming, industrious and content within the roses, a true community fulfilling it's natural calling. compare them to their industrial cousins, living on corn syrup and anti-biotics, forced to live in plastic apartments, trucked from orchard to orchard. mass-produced honey is made by stressed, poisoned, and exhausted bees. 

secret garden.

broad fork, experimenting with different mulching/garden prep techniques. we are the future!

solar oven nerdery.

betty fuc*ing crocker pride. thank you tami! sun baked cookies.

heavenly sun cooked food = pure love.

persimmon troubleshooting in the food forest. (beyond seed anarchy and the dangers of funcgicide: don't kill the mycorrhizae!) root stock, pruning, tree guilds, straw bale garden beds, green house design, heaven heaven heaven. 

reminder: find these books.

the light, the shadow. coloma hills, 7:44 pm.  driving through the divide late in the evening is a dream. recognize this form? these hills are the backdrop to this blog. :)

at night i dream of starting a bio-diesel co-op. despite everything the world is beautiful. there is no boundary between the realms of reality and magic, for they are one. seek truth!

OFF TO YOSEMITE! I NEED TO MAKE A SOLAR OVEN REAL QUICK THOUGH.
